Extra Butter and Diadora Scream for the S8000 ‘Giallo 2.0’

Extra Butter Subscribe to our Newsletter Diadora Subscribe to our Newsletter S8000 ‘Giallo 2.0’ – the sequel to their horror-inspired sneaker from . As studied practitioners of all things fiction and film, EB have made some considered decisions for their new sneaker.

‘Giallo’ refers to a genre of horror fiction hailing from Italy that originated in the 1930s. As such, it’s only appropriate that the S8000 retro runner is made in Diadora and Giallo’s home country. This pair sees a mixture of moody colours ranging from red to purple to blue, each rendered in luxe suede and perforated variants.

‘Unlike the classic American slashers that relied on gore and jump-scare tactics, Giallo films were more psychological and featured highly styled cinematography. The use of vivid colors that contrasted darker, macabre scenes became the inspiration for designing the S8000’s color story,’ says EB creative director Bernie Gross.

The EB x Diadora S8000 ‘Giallo 2.0’ will release in-store at Extra Butter on January 27, with an online release the following day. Matching apparel and accessories will also release alongside the shoes.
